Give The Gift Of Running This Christmas

Why not give yourself or a loved one the gift of running this Christmas by joining Midleton AC. A big advantage of being part of an Athletics Ireland club is that you are insured when training with the club.(Do you drive without insurance ? Why run without insurance ?)The club is open to runners of all abilities from five minute milers to twelve minute milers and beyond. No one is excluded and no one is too fast or too slow.You will be trained by a professional coach and qualified trainers with vast experience in all aspects of running. You will be guided to achieve whatever goals you set yourself in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. You will be advised re running technique and injury prevention.The cost is only SEVENTY EURO for twelve months. Yes! you read that correctly only seventy euro for TWELVE months. This includes two coach led sessions per week. Now that is value.Whilst of course we encourage all runners there are several other private and commercial groups out there who are nowhere near this value and are NOT covered by Athletics Ireland insurance or trained by a professional coach. The choice is yours.The club will be in existence for FIFTY years in 2016 and is one of the largest clubs in the county both facts which speak for themselves.The club has its own subsidised gear and has arrangements with several Sports Shops including John Buckley Sports and Tri N Run for special reductions for club members. There is an active social side to the club with get together's and trips away organised each year and of course as a Midleton AC member you will have no difficulty in getting into the Ballycotton 10 if you want to.So give yourself or your loved one the gift of a lifetime with the membership of Midleton AC or any AC for Xmas this year.2016 membership available now.Enquiries and further information email mdtacinfo@gmail.com or ring 0872403940
